Well, since everyone’s saying what they’re going to do and that they are participating, and since I have no personality of my own, I’m going to do the same…<\/p>\n

Going to use the same framework of last time:<\/p>\n

– D3D9 initialization
– 2d graphics system (sprites and camera system)
– Texture manager (for resource cleanup, etc)
– 3d system (FFP based, lights, meshes, camera)
– 3ds reader (in case I want to go 3d this time, since I model much better than I draw)
– Application\/Screen document model<\/p>\n

And that’s it, I think\u2026<\/p>\n

You can download it and use it at will: http:\/\/clientes.netvisao.pt\/~dandrade\/Framework_LD15.rar<\/a><\/p>\n

Going to use the same tools as always: VC2008, D3D9, sfxr, Photoshop, 3d Studio, Chronolapse for the timelapse video\u2026 Still don’t know what I’ll use for the music, but I’ll think of something\u2026<\/p>\n

Themes look scary… If it’s Twilight Fandom, I’ll throw the towel right away… :\\<\/p>\n

Anyway, good luck everyone, have fun and catch you in some hours!<\/p>","time":"December 11th, 2009 12:39 pm","title":"Jumping on the bandwagon\u2026"}
